Collier County Schools Draw New Boundaries for 2025-2026
At their Dec. 10 meeting, the Collier County School Board gave the green light to major changes in school boundaries starting in 2025-2026. The changes will impact elementary, middle, and…
The new plan will send students from the overcrowded Laurel Oak Elementary to Bear Creek Elementary. Schools west of I-75 will see smaller boundary tweaks to spread student numbers more evenly.
The Attendance Boundary Review Team spent months looking at bus costs, feedback from parents, and keeping neighborhoods together before picking their final plan from two options.
The district made changes to the middle schools to help with space issues and prepare for more students coming in. High school changes focused on keeping students from certain middle schools would stick together. Some schools, like Naples Park and Veterans Memorial Elementary, won't see any changes.
The new boundaries aim to fix current overcrowding and prepare for future growth. The district looked closely at where new homes are being built and how many students each school can hold to make its decisions. Parents can check the district's website for detailed maps of where their kids will attend school beginning next fall.
